13 CHAPTER 3: Card Setup T able 3-1. Jumper Operation Name Function P Adds or removes the 1K-ohm pull-down resistor in the RS-422/RS-485 receiver circuit (Receive data only). T Adds or removes the 120-ohm termination. L Connects the TX+ to RX+ for RS-485 two-wire operation.
14 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER 3.4 Electrical Interface Selection Each port on the Adapter has the ability to be used in either RS-232 or RS-422/485 mode. This is selectable via four 24 pin DIP-shunts at E1-E4. Please use the following illustration to aid in the configuration of your electrical interface.
15 CHAPTER 3: Card Setup 3.5 Clock Modes The Adapter employs a clocking option that allows you to select from “divide by 4,” “divide by 2,” and “divide by 1” clocking modes.
16 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER To enable the Adapter to reach its maximum possible data rate, 460.8 Kbps, place the jumper in the “divide by 1” position (marked DIV1).
17 CHAPTER 3: Card Setup If your communications package allows the use of baud-rate divisors, choose the appropriate divisor from the following table: T able 3-3. Divisors for the “Div 1” Mode For this Data Rate Choose this Divisor 1200 bps 384 2400 bps 192 4800 bps 96 9600 bps 48 19.
18 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER 3.7 Baud Rates and Divisors for the “Div2” mode The following table shows some common data rates and the rates you should choose to match them if you’re using the adapter in the “Div2” mode. T able 3-4.
19 CHAPTER 3: Card Setup T able 3-5. Divisors for the “Div 2” Mode For this Data Rate Choose this Divisor 1200 bps 192 2400 bps 96 4800 bps 48 9600 bps 24 19.
20 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER 4. Installation IMPOR T ANT You MUST set up the operating system BEFORE you physically install the Card. 4.1 Setting Up the Operating System If you are installing the PCI adapter in DOS, OS/2 ® , or QNX, please refer to the appropriate directory on one of the Serial Utilities Disks for instructions.
21 CHAPTER 4: Installation 5. Next, double-click on the third I/O range. Highlight the entire I/O range and type 02e8–02ef for COM4. Again, Windows will inform you that you have made modifications that may affect other devices. Click OK. Following these steps will change the COM: number assignments on the first two ports to COM3 and COM4.
22 2-PORT RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER 5. T roubleshooting 5.1 The Serial Utility Diskette The Adapter comes with a Serial Utility Diskette that has diagnostic software on it.
23 CHAPTER 5: Troubleshooting 5.2 Calling Black Box If you determine that the Adapter is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter or repair it . It contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500. Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem.
24 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix A: Interrupt Handling A.1 The Purpose and Early History of Interrupts A good analogy of a PC interrupt would be the phone ringing. The phone “bell” is a request for us to stop what we are currently doing and take up another task (speak to the person on the other end of the line).
25 APPENDIX A: Interrupt Handling A.2 Why Use an Interrupt Status Port (ISP)? The answer to the polling inefficiency was the Interrupt Status Port (ISP). The ISP is a read-only 8-bit register that sets a corresponding bit when an interrupt is pending.

28 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix C: Electrical Inter faces C.1 RS-232 Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as EIA/TIA-232.
29 APPENDIX C: Asynchronous Communications C.3 RS-485 RS-485 is backward-compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for partyline or multidrop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable of being Active (enabled) or Tristate (disabled).
30 2-POR T RS-232/422/485 PCI HOST ADAPTER Appendix D: Asynchronous Communication In serial data communication, individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character.
31 APPENDIX D: Asynchronous Communication Because each bit in asynchronous communications is sent consecutively, it is easy to generalize asynchronous communications by stating that each character is wrapped (framed) by pre-defined bits to mark the beginning and end of the serial transmission of the character.
